Susan Buice

Apathy, technology, paranoia, disease and medication. Meet Arin. Arin is a shy videographer who finds it too much to handle to go out and meet girls, so he sets up an account on meester.net. The flood of responses never comes, save for one email from Susan, a struggling artist who finds her job as a waitress stifling her creativity. Susan is also on the shy side and is seeking an alternative to the classic dating situation. When Arin and Susan finally meet, that alternative dating situation comes to life as the two refuse to communicate verbally with each other, wanting to avoid bs small talk.

The relationships of three men are examined through their use of technology.

A hopeful romantic tries to hold onto a failing relationship with her playful but detached boyfriend. A sexually-repressed hitchhiker on a quest for enlightenment finds love in a broken dreamer. The surreal, mind-altering setting of a week-long desert art event becomes the catalyst for the simultaneous creation of one romance and destruction of another reminding us there is beauty in both.
